Turning
,
Charles looked from Alex’s face to Seth

His hand rose to his throat as he watched Seth reach into his pocket.

             
“Ask, really.”

             
Alex stared at the tiny box in Seth’s hand.  “
Rabbit
, w
ill you marry me?”

             
Tears filled her eyes as
she
looked at his face
.

             
A loud squeal came from across the room, causing Hamlet to run and hide under
the table.  “Yes!
 
Of course we, I mean
she
,
will marry you
!
”

             
Grinning
,
Alex looked at Seth.  “What he said
.  Y
es

,
she closed her eyes
picturing Betsy
and Hank smiling down on them.
